Babel Tower

Python script to quickly edit Qt translations files.

Built for mysthea-app but easily modifiable to be generic.

Usage

pipenv install
pipenv shell
python babel-tower.py input.csv app_de.ts ENG GER

Given an input.csv:

ENG;GER;ITA;JAP
River;Fluss;Fiume;河
Mountain;Gebirge;Montagna;山
Forest;Wald;Foresta;森
Land of Myst;Nebelland;Terra Nebbiosa;ミストランド
Crystal Field;Kristallfeld;Campo di Cristallo;クリスタルフィールド
Storm;Sturm;Tempesta ;ストーム

and Qt translation file app_de.ts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE TS>
<TS version="2.1" language="de_DE">
<context>
    <name>CardsData</name>
    <message>
        <source>River</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Mountain</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Forest</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Land of Myst</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Crystal Field</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Storm</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
</context>
</TS>

The result of the previous command would be this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE TS>
<TS version="2.1" language="de_DE">
<context>
    <name>CardsData</name>
    <message>
        <source>River</source>
        <translation>Fluss</translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Mountain</source>
        <translation>Gebirge</translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Forest</source>
        <translation>Wald</translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Land of Myst</source>
        <translation>Nebelland</translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Crystal Field</source>
        <translation>Kristallfeld</translation>
    </message>
    <message>
        <source>Storm</source>
        <translation>Sturm</translation>
    </message>
</context>
</TS>

Code formatting

It's a little script but a tidy one nonetheless so, please, use black with this arguments:
